Santos named Lou Groza Award Star of the Week: Tulane junior Cairo Santos is one of three kickers recognized Monday as a “Star of the Week” by college football’s top kicking award, the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award.

Santos, named a Lou Groza Award semifinalist the previous Monday, is one of just three qualifying kickers who have yet to miss a field goal this season, and his 17-for-17 mark is the best of them. He hit from 45, 43 and 30 yards and converted two PATs in a 37-23 road loss Saturday at Memphis.
